NATO was formed in 1949, mainly as opposition to the USSR, but nominally as a defense treaty against attacks on any members.
Every so often, for shits and giggles I guess, The USSR and later Russia has requested to become a member, but always gets rejected. Seems like if your alliance was defensive, you'd want more people to join it, but who knows what those nefarious Russians are planning! they can't be trusted!
Look I know how you feel I think. You don?t want t us involved. Maybe Ukraine has some bad elements in their government and maybe they don?t. Idk. I do know and you also know this that Russian leader Putin has been in charge since the late 90?s. He has squashed decent. Eliminated his political opponents (or at least tried to). It seems like he is one of the bad guys. I think we should support Ukraine and it?s people. If they want or elect a actor like America has done twice (with Disastrous results) then they should be allowed to. I hope Putins invasion fails. I think it would help the world be a better place.. I believe Nato forces would kick Russian forces asses.
